This Phase 3 study was conducted to evaluated the efficacy and safety of Hemofence compared with Floseal Hemostatic Matrix in patients undergoing spinal or orthopedic surgery who required hemostasis for exudative bleeding that could not be adequately controlled by conventional procedures. Eligible participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Hemofence or Floseal Hemostatic Matrix. The primary objective was to demonstrate the non-inferiority of Hemofence to Floseal Hemostatic Matrix based on the proportion of participants who achieved successful hemostasis within 10 minutes after the initial application of the assigned treatment at the first bleeding site. Safety was assessed through adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiograms, and physical examinations.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.
Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Participants assigned to this arm received Hemofence for exudative bleeding that could not adequately controlled by conventional procedures during spinal or orthopedic surgery.
Drug: Hemofence
Participants assigned to this arm received Floseal Hemostatic Matrix for exudative bleeding that could not adequately controlled by conventional procedures during spinal or orthopedic surgery.
Drug: Floseal hemostatic matrix
Hemofence was applied during spinal or orthopedic surgery to exudative bleeding that could not be adequately controlled conventional procedures. One kit was applied per 3X3cm² bleeding area. The treatment was applied to the first and, if present, second eligible bleeding sites. If bleeding persisted, one additional application was permitted at each site. Hemostasis was assessed within 10 minutes after the initial application.
